Here, at last, is an all-terrain paradise, a
place of unhurried exploration.Here, at
last, is a place where aloha is not just a
word, but a way of life. Here, at last, is Lāna‘i.
Welcome to Hawai‘i’s most enticing island.
Once an ancient Hawaiian village, Hulopo‘
e Bay in South Lana‘i has been rated the
best beach in the country and is a good spot
for swimming, body boarding, snorkeling
and surfing. It is also part of a marine life
conservation area and a preferred habitat
for Hawaiian spinner dolphins. Often the
marine mammals that venture into the bay
are the youngsters, accompanied by their
dolphin “nannies.” Visitors can also picnic
or camp at Hulopo‘e and explore the fascinating
tide pools ringing the bay.
The island’s natural and cultural attractions
are spread out over 141 square miles,
down roads more bumpy than paved, and
through rain forests, pineapple lands and
windswept plains. Lānai’s 89,600 acres of
countryside invite sporting clays, hiking,
mountain biking and sightseeing. From its
highest point you can see up to five neighboring
islands. Sailing, swimming, snorkeling,
scuba diving and championship golf in
mountain and oceanfront settings are the adventures that await you on Lāna‘i. Fourwheel-
drive vehicles are the norm. In
Lāna‘i’s rhythm and scale, it may take an
hour to go 12 miles, but the landscape is
part of the journey.
The less adventurous may choose to roam
charming Lāna‘i City (the island’s only town
—one that still sleeps in on Sundays). For
